370z vs ferrari f430

The only problem I see with the above is the high likelihood that you will get sucked into it and DIE.

You are either dedicated to winning or not.

The only thing the Z has going for it vs the Ferrari, is the younger driver. The Ferrari is designed for a young man, but only an old man can afford it (generally speaking). As 6Spd said "Buy the GTR".

It doesn't matter how much you spend, even if you manage to "outperform" an F430, the Ferrari will likely be more reliable. More importantly, in the end its a Ferrari, he'll whoop you on the track and then steal your girlfriend lol.

Just picking on the noob, I used to ask similar questions when I was really young.

A camaro zl1 weights ~3100 pounds? Sorry but not happening, a Camaro SS is in the ~3900 range and throw on the upgrades the car will be in the 4000.

More important. F car is mid engine with weight over rear wheels. It has traction advantage.

However I still say a 370 z could be built to rape a stock 430. You guys think f cars are magic. ...not. A 900 hp blown 370z with worked suspension could easily spank a stock 430. Just bring money.
